UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Ok, I should be getting my coilovers fitted soon, just wondering, from peoples experience with fitting coilovers, what bolts are likely to need replacing? Is it ok to use the originals?

If I do need to replace them, what bolts are they? Part numbers? I am asking as my friend might be able to fit them for free, rather then spend £££’s getting them fitted at a garage.

They are for a polo gti if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

if all the bolts that need to be removed get a good spray with WD-40 or somethin similar and a good wire brush then they should be fine!

i fitted the coilovers on my own carand used the original bolts, no problem!

hope that helped

as above. mind you a good dose of copper grease wont do much harm either. just for the love ove god dont let your old spring ping out onto your cv joint as mine nearly did. oh and if ya doing it yaself get a mate to help. a bacon butty and planty cup-ol-tea!

kenny

also i would recommend TWO people for this job
some bits can become quite tricky when your holding a bit and trying to screw something else in

Good luck
